Mount Clemens in Macomb County has a lot
to offer the travelling pup, with many beautiful recreation areas nearby and river
walks to enjoy. Surrounded on three sides by Clinton Township, and on the
eastern border by Harrison Township, Mount Clemens covers just 4.2 square miles, but is certainly worth stopping to explore. There is one animal
hospital in town, and several vets in surrounding Clinton Township, so you are
assured your pup will be well looked after should he run into any trouble.

The centrepiece to the town for visiting pups
is the Behnke Memorial Dog Park. This free park has a fenced area where dogs
can run around off the lead and socialise, burn off some energy, and have a
great play. There are some communal toys available and tires for pups to
practice their agility skills on, plus running water and waste bags provided.

While you are out and about in Mount Clemens, take a walk along the Clinton River
and up into the shopping district, where you will find the Orleans Billiards Café
for a pet-friendly bite to eat. There is a variety of hearty fare on the menu
here, including American favorites such as pizzas, burgers, salads and
sandwiches, or you may like to go for something with Mexican flare, such as
nachos.

A small town with lots to see and do, you and your dog will have a great
time in Mount Clemens.

Just a short distance west of Mount Clemens in
Clinton Township are two parks along the Clinton River that are definitely worth
a visit with your dog. Canal Park is just over 16 acres and beautifully
wooded, providing a lovely place to escape suburbia for a while. The main
walking trail runs through the woodlands and south along the creek to the other
park, Budd Park. This green space is nearly 46 acres, and not only has more
walking trails, but amenities including restrooms and picnic pavilions available
for rent. You will need to bring your waste bags and water here, and keep pup on
a lead while you enjoy getting out and about amongst the trees.

Sometimes a pup just needs to run free, and the Clinton
Township Dog Park in neighbouring Clinton Township is the perfect place. The
1.5-acre dog park is fenced to keep pooches safe and has a variety of agility equipment
and toys to add to the fun, plus water fountains for both dogs and humans. To
access this park, you need to fill out a registration through Macomb County
Recreation (via the Charter Township of Clinton website) and pay a small fee,
but your pup is sure to have a ball here and want to visit again and again! When he
is ready to go back on the lead, take a walk together along the many paved
paths just outside the dog park.

Less than five miles from Mount Clemens in
Harrison Township is the Lake Saint Clair Metropark. Covering an impressive 770
acres, and taking in a mile of shoreline, this park has something for everyone –
even your furry companion. Take a walk or jog together along one of the many
paved paths and admire views over L’anse Creuse Bay or the lush meadows,
marshland and cottonwood trees. Stop for a packed lunch at one of the many
picnic places, or cook up something tasty on the BBQ’s. If you have little ones
in tow, they will love the playground as well. Water fountains are provided, but
bring a drinking bowl and clean up bags for pup. There is a small entry fee that
goes towards future development and maintenance of the park.
